Notre Dame at Miami (8pm ET Saturday): The Hurricanes are home underdogs once again. Miami opened +1.5 at BetOnline and quickly moved to +4, while Bookmaker and Pinnacle opened Miami +2.5 and moved to +3. Right now most of the market lists the Hurricanes as 3-point home underdogs, and the Irish are getting nearly all the tickets and money.

Georgia at Auburn (3:30 pm ET Saturday): BetOnline opened this line too short as well with the Tigers -2. That quickly moved to UGA -2, and the market is now at UGA -2.5. Just like the Irish, the Bulldogs are getting nearly 80% of early tickets and 90% of early money. Sharp money may come in if this line hits Auburn +3 or +3.5. The lookahead line over the summer was Auburn -10 and they’re an exceptionally strong team this year, showing just how good UGA has been to move the odds.

Others News and Nuggets:
FSU’s downfall has moved the Seminoles from +2 over the summer to +17.5 at Clemson. This game also got moved from 8 pm ET to 3:30 pm ET. FSU is the only team in the nation without covering a game (0-6-2 ATS). FSU as an underdog of 14+ pts: 1-3 SU and 1-3 ATS since 2005.
